TEHRAN: A delegation from the UN nuclear watchdog arrived in Tehran on early Monday for a two-day visit aimed at seeking a solution to a dispute over Iran’s nuclear program, the ISNA news agency said.
The visit is the second to Iran in three weeks and is seen as a key test of Iran’s willingness to hold substantive talks with the International Atomic Energy Agency about suspicious activities outlined by the agency in a November report.
The team is headed by chief UN nuclear inspector Herman Nackaerts, who before boarding the plane for Tehran in Vienna expressed hope that “concrete results” would emerge from the trip, but cautioned that progress “may take a while.”
“We hope to have a couple of good and constructive days in Tehran,” Nackaerts told reporters at Vienna airport.
“Importantly we hope for some concrete results from this trip. The highest priority remains of course the possible military dimensions of Iran’s nuclear program, but we want to tackle all outstanding issues,” he said.
“This is of course a very complex issue that may take a while. But we hope it can be constructive.”
